Class, action Flashcards
H2 (histamine 2) antagonist
Secretion affecting, decreases acid and pepsin in response to gastrin by blocking H2 receptor sites
Antacids
Secretion affecting, neutralizes HCl
PPIs (proton pump inhibitors)
Secretion affecting, decrease HCl at lumen
GI protectant
Secretion affecting, protects ulcer sites by adhering to them in duodenum
Prostaglandin
Secretion affecting, inhibits acid, increases bicarbonate and mucous in stomach
Digestive enzymes
Secretion affecting, replacement therapy to breakdown foods
Chemical stimulants
Motility affecting, irritate nerve plexus to increase motility starting at small intestine
Bulk stimulants
Motility affecting, increase motility by increasing feces size this increasing fluid and stretch for stimulation
Osmotic laxatives
Motility affecting, increased water in GI causing increase in motility
Lubricants
Motility affecting, increased feces viscosity
(see other cards for the 3 specific lubricants)
Docusate
Lubricant, detergent action on intestinal bolus, leads to softer stool
Glycerin
Lubricant, gentle evacuation due to softer stool from hyperosmolar effects (water pulled in), no systemic affects
Mineral oil
Lubricant, forms slippery coat on contents of intestinal tract
GI stimulant
Motility affecting, stimulates parasympathetic leading to increased GI secretions and motility
Antidiarrheal
Motility affecting, decreased motility by directly acting on GI lining
Phenothiazines
Antiemetic, suppresses CNS by stimulating medulla to decrease nausea and vomiting,
Also is an anti anxiety drug
Nonphenothiazine
Antiemetic, decreases vomiting by decreasing responsiveness in the nerve cells that induce vomiting in the CTZ (chemoreceptor trigger zone)
5-HT3 (serotonin) receptor blockers
Antiemetic, blocks receptor sites associated with nausea and vomiting peripherally and in CTZ (chemoreceptor trigger zone)
Substance P/Neurokinin 1 receptor antagonists
Antiemetic, act directly in CNS to block receptors associated with nausea and vomiting
Dronabinol and nabilone
Antiemetic, contain active ingredient of cannabis
Hydroxyzine
Antiemetic, suppression of CNS cortical areas
Trimethobenzamide
Antiemetic, less sedation/CNS suppression
Immune stimulants
Interferons
Interleukins
Colony stimulating factors
Interferons
Immune stimulants, prevent virus replication, inhibit tumor growth, for cancer and warts
Interleukins
Immune stimulants, increase NK and lymphocytes to activate cellular immunity and decrease tumors
Colony stimulating factors
Immune stimulant, decrease infection in patients with bone marrow suppression, help treat blood related cancers
Immune suppressants
Immune modulators
T and B cell suppressors
Interleukin receptor antagonists
Monoclonal antibodies
Immune modulators
Immune suppressant, decrease pro inflammatory cytokines and increase anti inflammatory cytokines
T and B cell suppressors
Immune suppressant, decrease antibodies produced by B cells, decrease suppressor and helper T
Interleukin receptor antagonist
Immune suppressant, block interleukins to treat RA
Monoclonal antibodies
Immune suppressant, attach to specific receptors, disable T cells
Salicylates
Analgesic/antipyretic/anti inflammatory, decrease prostaglandin
